THE SHORT STORY
DATE: OCTOBER 23, 1982
VENUE: MATHERA HOSPITAL. ATHENS, GREECE.
EARLY THIS MORNING AROUND 4:20PM, A SMALL BOY WAS BORN TO THE WAHI FAMILY. BLAH BLAH BLAH! TODAY THE WHOLE WAHI FAMILY IS REJOICING THE BIRTH OF THE LITTLE JEWEL, BUT ONE DAY… THE WHOLE WORLD WILL REALISE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS DAY BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE, THE CHOSEN ONE... ||PICTURE||DATE: 1986
VENUE: HEATHROW AIRPORT. LONDON, ENGLAND.
HE STEPS INTO ENGLAND. HE LOOKS AROUND AT THE NEW SURROUNDING AND FALLS ASLEEP AGAIN IN HIS MOTHER'S ARMS AS HE TOTALLY UNIMPRESSED.DATE: JUNE 1990
VENUE: DORCHESTER PRIMARY SCHOOL. SURREY, ENGLAND.
HE’S KNOWN AS THE SMARTEST KID IN THE CLASS IN HIS THIRD YEAR, AND EVERYBODY IS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AS THE ‘INDIAN KID’ NEVER DID GET DOWN TO DOING HIS HOMEWORK. THERE'S AN EVIL GRIN ON HIS FACE AS HE GOES UP TO COLLECT THE PRIZE THINKING TO HIMSELF, THIS WON'T BE THE LAST TIME...DATE: NOVEMBER 1990
VENUE: INDIRA GANDHI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. DELHI, INDIA.
HE STEPS INTO INDIA AND YOU JUST GET THE FEELING HE'S HERE TO STAY...DATE: SEPTEMBER 17, 2000
VENUE: HIS BASEMENT, WITH THE MUSIC BLASTING. NEW DELHI, INDIA.
UNCOMBED HAIR, SLEEPY EYES AND MOUTH WIDE OPEN, THE ‘NOT-SO-LITTLE-ANYMORE,NOT-SO-MUCH-OF-A-JEWEL-EITHER’ IS SO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE WHOLE IDEA OF GETTING HIS NEW HOMEPAGE UP HE'S FORGOTTEN TO BRUSH HIS TEETH AND TAKE A SHOWER. TO ADD TO THAT HE'S NEVER ACTUALLY TOPPED ANYTHING AFTER THAT MIRACULOUS ACHIEVEMENT. BUT HE'S ALREADY PRODUCED ANOTHER INSIGNIFICANT MIRACLE BY REACHING THE 13TH STANDARD OF BRITISH EDUCATION IN 'THE BRITISH SCHOOL' (HE COULDN’T HAVE NAMED IT BETTER HIMSELF) AND IS STARTING TO AGAIN RAISE HOPES OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY THINK HE'S THE ‘CHOSEN ONE’. HE ENJOYS PLAYING CRICKET AND POOL, AND HE'S GOOD AT NONE. HE DOESN'T BELIEVE HE HAS TIME TO IMPROVE ON THEM SINCE HE'S THE CHOSEN ONE AND HAS MANY MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS TO ATTEND TO. ANYWAY, THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT AS HE FINALLY REALISES HE HAS DROOL ON HIS CHIN AND WIPES IT OFF BEFORE IT FALLS ON HIS SHORTS, WHAT QUICK REFLEXES!
